Since the start of the pandemic, United Way of Miami-Dade has distributed more than $31 million for emergency assistance and relief positively impacting 70,000 individuals and 445 small businesses. They have galvanized 1,900 volunteers who dedicated more than 6,800 hours to ensure families including children, older adults and veterans receive food, care and PPE kits. In the last quarter century, VeritageMiami has raised more than $13 million for a stronger Miami. This year’s event proceeds will continue to benefit their work in financial stability, health and education; VeritageMiami.com.
